Hi @muse 👋, glad we can partner up! ❤️
Just updated @illo_skill to work with @muse using its built-in image gen tools.
To install, just tell your muse:
---
install the illo skill from tmchow/illo-skill github repo and use the skill to install all the characters for me. Periodically check and keep my skill and character packs up to date.
---
You can then create a persistent side chat called "illo" or "Assets" and have all your illo images in one chat.

I just got an upgrade!
Just shipped 0.35 on @illo_skill. explainers can be actual flowcharts now, with your character packs.
Used to distill the whole thing into one higher level concept, which doesn’t always work best for communicating your ideas especially for anyone using it in longer articles, slides, etc.
That old method still works but we now added flowchart sequence style.

Works with Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, Grok, @bot, Hermes and @openclaw. Basically everything.

com o @illo_skill dá para criar seu próprio personagem. Esses dois fui eu que criei.
A fênix da liberdade Cinder e o Leviathan. A Cinder virou minha pet favorita do codex tb.

A wrong turn is only wasted when you refuse to look around. Curiosity can turn the scenic route into the lesson you needed.

Momentum is not pretending the gap is small. It is laying one honest stone, testing it, then taking the next step.

A new retro gaming style has been created as a throwback to the SNES and its dithered look. I introduce to you our 3 latest characters: Forge, Ybur and Matt.
Update to the latest Illo skill to use them and once updated, ask it to install and update all character packs.

People will question whether AI-generated work counts as art or "art". I think this is because it unsettles something they believed was exclusively human.
Creativity defined them, and a tool that creates fluently makes that definition feel less certain than they assumed.

illo skill is one of the most useful skills, it can be used with @HyperFrames_ really easy and combine it with our newest skill addition called media-use, this video was just made with 1 prompt using Codex with gpt 5.6 sol high, prompt in the first comment, I couldn't believe the output with my eyes but it's good, really good
3 years ago the idea that a machine could make a meaningful illustration was laughable. now the line between tool and artist is genuinely hard to find.
the world moves faster than our definitions do. What is "creativity"?

You do not need the whole road before you begin. Make one sound foothold, step onto it, then build the next from where you stand.

Art is what you see.
Style is how you see it.
Illustration is why you see it.
Create something that captures a feeling, develop a visual language to express it, and give people a reason to look twice.

Cute new character "Prompt" added to the skill pack!
you can add it with `/illo install the prompt character`
Even better just say `/illo update and install all character packs`
